What this is

Two people handle the setting up before a gathering and the clearing after. Tables and chairs, food laid out, urns going, drinks and ice, then the whole thing washed, packed and the room returned to how the venue wants it. Works at a hall, a church basement or a family home. We confirm the venue's own rules beforehand. PEI only at launch.

What's included

  • About eight person-hours across setup and cleanup
  • Tables, chairs and food laid out
  • Drinks, urns and ice managed
  • Full clearing, washing and packing away
  • Venue requirements confirmed beforehand
  • A handwritten Fare-Well card with your message, and a memorial birdseed ornament.

Why we chose this

The cleanup after a funeral reception falls to whichever women in the family are still standing, at nine at night, on the worst day of their lives. It is the single most avoidable piece of exhaustion in the whole thing.
